ScreenFast vs App Blocker

ScreenFast is a simple app to help you block distracting apps and websites. Stay motivated with a timer that counts up on the main screen once you start blocking. Take a timed break that automatically resumes blocking afterward, allowing you to refocus without getting lost in mindless scrolling. View your history of block durations to track your progress and trends in screen time control. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
